Full Tour Description

Duration: 3 hours

This is a private walking tour, so your guide can pick you up from you city-center accommodation, or you can meet at our office in the heart of the Old Town. Your personal guide will be at your disposal throughout the tour, giving you plenty of chances to ask questions and get to know them, and lots of time to ask for local tips and hints of where to go and what else to do during your stay in Krakow.

We'll start in the heart of the Old Town and take a short stroll to the ornate baroque Church of St Anne before catching the unveiling of the altar inside St Mary's Basilica (entry included) and the oldest church in Krakow - St Adalbert's in the center of the biggest Medieval market square in Europe.

We'll then make our way into the Franciscan Church (entry inside) with its magnificent stained glass windows and cloister, where we'll also learn about Krakow's unique Christmas traditions and see the hall of important Polish religious figures. The Bishop's Palace (outside only), once home to Pope John Paul II, is next and we'll see his famous window before walking down the oldest street in Krakow to take in the Church of St Peter and St Paul and hear the story of the nuns of St Claire the Poor.

We'll finish our tour with the jewel in Krakow's crown - Wawel Cathedral (entry included) and castle area where you'll hear the stories of years gone by and get to know the most prominent figures in Krakow's history. In the castle area, we'll also visit the inside of the cathedral and get a close-up view of the legendary Sigismund bell from the top of the belltower.

At the conclusion of the tour, your guide will help with ideas, tips, hints, directions and more!
